Anmok Coffee Street

Seafront cafe strip that helped make Gangneung Korea's best-known coffee city.

Anmok Coffee Street is exactly what it sounds like: a line of cafes facing the beach. It grew from a humble vending-machine coffee scene into one of the country's best-known coffee districts, with roasters, terrace seats, and steady weekend crowds.

It can be commercial, but the formula works. Pick a cafe with an upstairs window, order something better than the setting strictly requires, and watch the waves.
